From Fife so these are rolls. Roll on sausage, roll on bacon etc. Heard them called different things in different parts of UK.

That is a bread roll, baps are wider and flatter and floured, might be a “batch roll” but only if really want to be totally clear on type
Londoner here. That’s a roll that is. Unless you’re putting a burger in it, then it’s a bun.
Sneaky colonial sneaking in here to agree with you. I’m from NJ and this is it exactly.
Or you’re putting bacon in it, then it’s a bap
No it’s still a roll. 🙂
Roll, too small for a bap
That’s a bap, innit.
Oh jesus, here we go.
That would be a bun.
“Is that what we’re gonna do today? We’re gonna fight?”
Bread bun
We doing this are we? Recipe for disaster.
Anyway Geordie here but raised a Fifer too. So naturally they are rolls. All other answers are wrong. Confused the hell out of my Mum when we first moved up, and resulted in many an accidently bought iced bun.
What confuses me about most non-bun areas is that it’s not just a different word, it’s a collection of words and which one is correct seems to change based on size and consistency and even contents of said bun.
Are they always rolls, where you are now, or are they subject to a similarly complex system as elsewhere?
I’m in Edinburgh, and they are almost exclusively rolls, or morning rolls. Sometimes baps. Not sure that isn’t just for the giggles. Never buns. A bun is sweet. But since this is a country that calls sugary fizzy drinks in cans “juice”, I don’t think we can take the high ground here.
Bun
Breadcake, growing up in Doncaster.
Barmcake for sure
One of my girlfriends arse cheeks.
She affectionately calls them her “Hot Cross Bums”
I just call those bread rolls. It reminds me of when I first when to Scotland and went to a shop and asked for a bacon roll. They looked at me like I was mad and said, you mean a roll and bacon?
I can’t believe everyone has got this wrong.
It’s a muffin.

Born and raised in Liverpool. It’s a bap. A bigger, wider one is a barm (barm-cake) and here in the US of A, they like to call the particular sort from the picture, a dinner roll.
Doesn’t get called a lunch roll if it’s lunch time.
Baps!
